SomeoneJack Frost 2: Revenge of the Mutant Killer Snowman
April 16th 2009 06:19
I'm going to say this right from the start: The chances are, if you watch this movie, you will hate it. For good reason too. This movie is utterly terrible. Bad acting, bad effects, bad editing, bad directing, everything about it is terrible.
That being said, I found this movie endlessly entertaining. The script, although generally poor, did have some good moments.
The story goes like this. In Jack Frost 1 (which I haven't seen), a killer is killed, and through some scientific accident returns as a snowman, and proceeds to attack the sheriff that caught him, until the sheriff eventually stops him with antifreeze and buries it in an unmarked grave. The sequel opens with a mysterious person digging up the remains for scientific testing, and through an accident Jack Frost is (predictably) released and proceeds to hunt down the sheriff once again. The sheriff (played by Christoper Allport) is on a tropical island with his wife (Eileen Seeley), to be the best man at a friend's wedding. The sheriff is still obsessed with Jack Frost, and all around him just think he's paranoid as the bodies start piling up.
Like I said, the movie really has nothing going for it, but therein lies the beauty. The film is just fun. It is obviously not meant to be taken seriously, and I was laughing more than a few times. If good cinema is your cup of tea, avoid this like the plague. If you're after a silly movie to watch while stoned, this is definitely it.
p.s. It's quite ironic, if sad. The actor who played the sheriff, Christopher Allport, was killed in an avalanche. Looks like the killer mutant snowman really did have the last laugh.
